Cambodia - Paul

Paul hates himself. He uses drugs, although he knows they are useless. But now he has a job and a girlfriend.

Everything went well, until Paul’s parents separated. He was always fighting with his stepfather and one day he just left, so his mother would stop crying. He ended up in the slums of Borei Keila. He moved in with Mrs Peap. He helped her with the cooking and the groceries. But a company bought the land on which their house was built and chased all the residents away.

In his new house he met friends who had a bad influence on him. Now he is trying to get his life back on track, with his job and his girlfriend Anee. He wants to marry her. He hopes they will be able to protect each other.
